few example http://zaobao.com.sg/sp/sp110413_006_1.shtml 个案①：买达士岭只为赚租 　　Y先生去年一月和妹妹合买达士岭一间四房式单位，过后通知建屋局会把其中的两间卧房出租一年。 　　但建屋局去年五月和六月对该单位进行两次夜间检查，发现Y先生和妹妹只是把其中的一间房锁起来，屋内都是住客的衣鞋和物品。 　　当局进一步调查发现，Y先生和妹妹无意住在组屋内，购买组屋只是为了赚取租金收入，决定强制性收回他们的组屋。 个案②：夫妇住私宅出租组屋　 　　P夫妇前年购买靠近小印度罗威路的四房式组屋后，去年二月呈报建屋局出租其中一间房。 　　当局调查显示，组屋出租期间，这对夫妇其实一直住私宅，并把组屋分租给5名租户，收取1200元租金，男屋主过后也承认他在没有获得批准的情况下把整间组屋出租。建屋局决定强制性收回组屋。 个案③：出租整间组屋 　　A先生前年六月购买宏茂桥10道一间三房式组屋，之后呈报要出租其中一间房。建屋局调查发现，出租期间A先生根本不住在该单位内，而是把整间组屋租给四口之家，收取1300多元租金，决定强制性收回组屋。 ============= So next balance sale.

http://news.omy.sg/News/Local%2BNews/Story...455-236697.html 建屋局对付违例出租屋主　去年39间组屋遭强制收回 屋主公然触犯出租条例，39间组屋单位去年被建屋局强制收回！ 建屋局今早发布文告，指去年对7000间组屋进行检查后，对其中95个非法出租组屋的屋主采取行动，包括罚款和强制性把组屋收回。被强制收回的单位有39间。 建屋局发言人今早指出，组屋被强制收回后，屋主除了被罚款以外，将只获组屋90％市价的赔偿。 一般上，触犯出租条例的屋主若屡劝不听，建屋发展局才会施予强制收回组屋的最重惩罚。 不过，建屋局今早指出，如果有足够证据证明屋主购买组屋的目的并非要自住，而是为了套利，那么即使是初犯，建屋局也可能强制收回他们的组屋。 锁一卧房出租也属犯法。完整报道，请翻阅12.04.2011《联合晚报》。

http://news.omy.sg/News/Local%2BNews/Story...439-237060.html 达士岭租金回报率高　诱使屋主冒险“偷租” 达士岭一间四房式组屋的月租介于2500至2700元，房屋经纪估算租金回报率超过8％，令人垂涎，诱引一些组屋屋主甘冒组屋单位被强制性回收的风险，“偷租”赚外快。 多名房地产专家认为，建屋发展局收紧条例并加强稽查工作后，违例出租的个案的确已不多见，但鉴于私宅市场租金叫价高，导致组屋出租市场需求稳健，为组屋屋主制造一片出租良机，市区一带的组屋屋主，就更难挡诱惑。 戴德梁行转售部门助理副总裁王志勇以达士岭一间四房式组屋2500元的月租来估算，屋主一年可得约3万元租金。若屋主当年以35万元购入该单位的话，租金回报率已超过8％。即使这次被建屋局查出违例出租的男屋主是在去年初才购入四房式单位，以当时大约45万元的市价来估算，租金回报率也至少有 6.6％。 王志勇认为，和公寓私宅3％的租金回报率及办公商用楼介于5％至7％的租金回报率来看，组屋的租金回报率可说是相当可观的。屋主在扣除每个月约1000元的房贷后，仍有至少1500元的净收入。 完整内容，请翻阅13.4.2011《联合早报》。

ya. Change WC , confirm will affect the tiles. Don't save of this part. If not, later your lower floor neighbor complain ceiling leak. Then you need to re-do the toilet floor again. What you can do is, If the wall still ok. Just change the floor will do. I also do my reno on budget. Only change or hack thing we need to change. For the master bedroom toilet. I only change the sitting WC as I don't like to use 2nd hand toilet bowl. Change the mirror, etc For common toilet, change the squating to seating type. Change the basin, mirror, heater. Reno is stress but after that. You will enjoy the fruit of your stress. Nothing is better than your own home.

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1122259/1/.html SINGAPORE: The HDB compulsorily acquired 39 flats from their owners last year as they had blatantly infringed the subletting rules. One of the flats acquired was at Pinnacle@Duxton. The owner had sublet the entire flat without HDB's approval in the guise of subletting of rooms, shortly after the flat purchase in January last year. During its night inspections in May and June 2010, HDB found that the owner was not staying at the flat. HDB's investigations revealed that the owner did not have any intention to stay in the flat and had bought it purely for monetary gains. In another 56 cases, HDB warned or fined the owners. HDB said it stepped up its enforcement against unauthorised subletting last year. It carried out 7,000 flat inspections, up from 3,000 inspections in 2009. About 1,800 inspections were the result of public feedback. This is almost double the number of public feedback received in 2009. HDB said it takes a very serious view of any unauthorised subletting and will take stern actions against owners, including compulsory acquisition, even if it is the owner's first infringement. This is especially for cases where the flat owners had bought the flat purely for monetary gains, with no intention of occupying it. There have also been cases where flat owners try to circumvent HDB's rules by locking up one room and subletting the rest of the flat without physically staying in it. It said such cases will be treated as unauthorised subletting of the entire flat. Flat owners who wish to sublet their entire flats must meet the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) and obtain HDB's approval before they can do so. -CNA/ac

I never forget when they ask public to discuss about the building of 2 IR. After mths of "discussion" online / TV , etc. Then they come out and say Actually last yr, we had decide to build liao. This is the first time, I feel like. I've been treat like monkey. Worst then ah meng. No respect to public at all. Father taught me Skin is your face is ppl give. If you don't want your skin, why should other give you face.

I don't want to buy for opposition insurance. I only want to buy for opposition voice. Voice that can say NO to 26% increment to S$4.2 million. When they start to increase President pay, next will be those ministers. How many of us get 26% increment on the same job w/o jumping company?

Chinese new paper say.. WP has another "secret weapon"

no surprise. Singapore is practising Parachute politics New PAP candidates Dr Janil Puthucheary , a paediatrician at KK Children and Women Hospital, came to Singapore in 2001 but only became a citizen in 2008. Foo Mee Har, 45, the global head of premier banking at Standard Chartered Bank, also became a citizen in 2008. Born in Malaysia, has made Singapore home since 1989

miap, if you plan to keep the living hall floor. Don't hack the store room. Hack - $$ replace the wall floor $$ If you on budget, do those in-need first. I don't quite understand what you mean by except the flooring? U want to change 1 squat to sitted w/o changing the flooring, is that what you mean?

anything outside your gate is belong to TC responsible. Call TC, ask them to clean up the paint

He's not just trying to pull a fast one. He's trying to drink your blood aka $$

I think he is much more better than that Dr who converted to Singaporean 3 yrs ago. Wondering, is it due to PAP invite him for tea. That's why he converted. At least "Secret weapon" do NS. This DR say, he has save alot of baby. That is same as doing NS. So, next time, all Dr can use this as excuse. I save life. NO NS for me. B'coz that Dr say so

For condo, only seller pay agent commission. Buyer no need to pay a single cents. I thought that is standard market practice for years? Has the rule change? Or This agent is trying to "eat" both side $$$.

Reno base on what your need and want. And I disagree on this. I look for location and min reno cost. Design is not my concern. The previous owner taste is not my taste. What is in fashion now , will be out-dated 5 yrs later. May be I'm not a modern family. While searching high and low for a flat or our own. We come across a 3.5 rm - location we want but they hack 2 rm into 1 rm. We don't want to spend extra $$ to rebuild the wall especially when the COV is very high. Seller will not lower their asking price b'coz of that Next we come across a 4 rm flat - high floor, location we want. But they hack 2 rms into 1 rm. So instead of 3 rm, it only has 2 rms and the seller insist of 80k COV due to his so-call show-flat reno. Which is quite nice but not my design taste. My husband say Even it is a 4rm HDB, it only has 2 rm. So what is the different of getting a 3rm flat. If I want 2 rms only, I rather buy a 3 rm flat. Cheaper.
